[Current insights into an old problem: BVD (bovine virus diarrhea)]. 1985

P W de Leeuw, and P J Straver

A number of recent papers on the epidemiology of bovine virus diarrhoea and the pathogenesis of mucosal disease resulted in new insights, but also gave rise to several questions. Prior to dealing with these questions the new views are discussed, and the possible damaging effects of BVD infection are briefly reviewed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008431	Maternal-Fetal Exchange	Exchange of substances between the maternal blood and the fetal blood at the PLACENTA via PLACENTAL CIRCULATION. The placental barrier excludes microbial or viral transmission.	Transplacental Exposure,Exchange, Maternal-Fetal,Exposure, Transplacental,Maternal Fetal Exchange
D011247	Pregnancy	The status during which female mammals carry their developing young (EMBRYOS or FETUSES) in utero before birth, beginning from FERTILIZATION to BIRTH.	Gestation,Pregnancies
D011251	Pregnancy Complications, Infectious	The co-occurrence of pregnancy and an INFECTION. The infection may precede or follow FERTILIZATION.

D001912	Bovine Virus Diarrhea-Mucosal Disease	Acute disease of cattle caused by the bovine viral diarrhea viruses (DIARRHEA VIRUSES, BOVINE VIRAL). Often mouth ulcerations are the only sign but fever, diarrhea, drop in milk yield, and loss of appetite are also seen. Severity of clinical disease varies and is strain dependent. Outbreaks are characterized by low morbidity and high mortality.	Mucosal Disease, Bovine Viral Diarrhea,Bovine Virus Diarrhea Mucosal Disease
D002353	Carrier State	The condition of harboring an infective organism without manifesting symptoms of infection. The organism must be readily transmissible to another susceptible host.
